Reviews in relation to specific planning or licensing applications will not be considered or topics which are considered vexatious or discriminatory.
The Chairman of the Panel in conjunction with the Scrutiny Officer will consider the topic suggestions in accordance with the agreed scoring mechanism and inform the Panel via the updated work programme.
Members of the public can suggest a topic for scrutiny via any of the Council’s access points including the Contact Centre, Customer Service Centres and Community Hubs as well as via e-mail to memberservices@fenland.gov.uk.
